The Daredevil Christopher Wright
"The Daredevil Christopher Wright happens to be three unassuming young dudes from the northern climes of the greater Midwest, and their blend of indie rock exuberance and classic rock rearing is completely disarming. ...These guys could trump a band like Tapes 'n Tapes in due time." - Independent Weekly, NC
The indie folk-pop trio recently charged out of Eau Claire, Wisconsin's burgeoning hipster scene to take the show on the road. In spite of their relative isolation in the western wiles of Wisconsin, they've managed to turn a few ears including those of the hip new Minnesota Public Radio station - 89.3 The Current - where they receive regular airplay and National Public Radio's All Songs Considered: Open Mic where they were featured in the song of the day.
The music is infectious, by turns peppy, manic and melancholy and all three members manage to sing and bash instruments at the same time. Jon Sunde plays the role of lead vocals and guitar while brother Jason plays bass and dear friend (nearly brother) Jesse Edgington sits behind the drums. The band recently went into the studio to record their first full length album with the help of some fine friends and they eagerly anticipate its release.
"To me, the most engaging thing about the band is the deft manipulation of vocal inflections which embellish the mood or maybe it's simply the moods themselves, which feel like the careful articulation of a compositionally conscious young band." - Rift Magazine
